A FORMER Bendigo radio presenter has been listed as a finalist in the Commercial Radio Awards 2014.

Sam Hargreaves, who was a radio presenter on Southern Cross Austereo's 3BO network, is up for best current affairs presenter for a non metropolitan area and best sports presenter.

"It's a big surprise to get these nominations," he said.

"It's a testament to the people that taught me."

Hargreaves said he was grateful to the people who helped him achieve his dream of becoming a radio presenter, including his parents, friends, Southern Cross Austereo's Rick Lenarcic, Jason Priestley and Bryan Coghlan and the Bendigo community.
